August 29, Pozirk. <\/em><\/strong>Minsk \u201cstrictly adheres to all agreements\u201d with Russia, from agriculture, food and fuel to other areas, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has told\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin at their meeting in Novo-Ogaryovo, Putin\u2019s residence near Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decision-making had become easier because there are few outstanding issues, Putin\u2019s press office cited the Belarusian ruler as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYesterday, Mikhail Vladimirovich [Mishustin] and I simply went through the entire list systematically,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka noted. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t me who initiated this, but Mikhail Vladimirovich. He took out his notebook and read through and listed all these problems and issues. We analyzed them. We had a good talk, and I even thanked him for the opportunity to meet. It will mean less work for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian politician said trade between Belarus and Russia \u201cis growing, at least 12 percent, though we still need to crunch the numbers.\u201d He also said he expects the countries to \u201csignificantly exceed\u201d their 2025 bilateral trade by the end of 2026. \u201cIt\u2019s gratifying that modern electronics account for a large share of this trade,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can rest assured that we will work together to overcome any difficulties,\u201d \u0141uka\u0161enka noted. \u201cThat is why I think today will be more about taking stock of developments than making decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin said his relationship with \u0141uka\u0161enka meant that \u201cnew issues keep arising all the time that require attention, coordination and resolution.\u201d Belarus and Russia are expanding cooperation beyond traditional areas into high technology, including microelectronics, building on Belarus\u2019 Soviet-era expertise, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyiv has repeatedly pointed out that Russia uses weapons containing electronic components manufactured in Belarus to strike Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
